act on specific packages on offline action only

This adds a configuration file /etc/pacman.d/offline.conf that can be
included to global pacman configuration file /etc/pacman.conf. By default
it contains configuration to ignore linux packages.

On offline action this include is removed, allowing to update linux
packages on offline action only. This prevents from breaking module
loading in a running system.
